Dimensions- Project Preferences

Jen1 — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 16:40:48 GMT

I can not seem to add any new Dimension preferences .

Every time i start modifying a dimension preferences instead of converting to "custom" it jumps to my preference called "1/64"

the "1/64" I believe is the issue I am assuming it is because of the "/" in the name that is causing the issue but I can not delete or rename this preference.

Please help!

did you remember to store/save the updated setting after you made the changes?

because it shouldn't say "custom".

also, there doesn't seem to be an issue with the slash character when it comes to naming a Dimension Preference

hmm there must be something corrupting my template because when I go back to an early version I can create a new dimension style.... weird....

It seems, I have the same problem. Recently I've upgraded from AC22 to AC25 and I can not save changes in dimension preferences styles. The problem is with my old template, everything is ok if I start new file with standart template. Jen1, have you found the solution?

Hi. Recently I've upgraded from AC22 to AC25 and I can not save changes in dimension preferences styles. There is no more "Custom" and "Save as..." options when I change something, just my existing dimension styles. The problem is with my old template from AC22. Everything is ok if I start new file with standart AC25 template. Does anybody know the solution? Thank you!

Hi, custom is made when you change up presaved settings and that is when you get store as option.

You can change existing dimensions in your new template, then they will appear as custom and then you can store them as something.

Thank you, Barry. I've started new topic to receive sooner solution. Actually less people see comments to the older topics as I understood. Maybe I'm wrong - I'm new to the forum)).

this is exactly the issue I am having. A kind of work around I was able to do was I managed to override one of my other dimension styles... but only a temp solution. I am thinking there must have been something in a recent Archicad update that didnt agree with a previous setting I have in my template.

Whether you are replying to an old post or creating a new one, the post will show as most recent or as unread, so everyone should still see it.

It is best to keep the same topic in one post so all replies end up in the same place.

Otherwise one post may get a reply and a solution and the other post may not.

Hi all,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with this issue!

I checked our database and found a similar defect, DEF-4223, which was fixed in Archicad 25 Update 2. I'm wondering if you had the latest update installed for Archicad 25 (currently 5010)? If not, please do so and check in Archicad again to see if the problem is resolved.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Minh

Hello,

I'm very sorry to hear that! As the issue happened only with the template migrated from Archicad 22, I suspect there is something wrong with this file. I suggest reaching out to the local support so that they can have a closer look at this template.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Best regards,

Minh

Hi Minh,

I have the same problem, even though my template was created in Archicad 23, I recently updated the file to Archicad 25 and just yesterday we updated all the computers working on the file into the version 6000, still this problem persists. is there something I could do? do moving the file in teamwork to Archicad 26 solves the problem?? thanks.
